According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEG_Y, seg-y is a data format for geophysics. How do you plan on using this in Sage? On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 7:46 AM, leonardoparada wrote: > > Hello my name is Leonardo: > I would like learn more about work withs seg-y format in SAGE. > Any body workin

The tachyon raytracing uses the tachyon class, called Tachyon. If you type Tachyon? you will get a help file. Sometimes it is nicer to work more directly work with tachyon, which can be done by creating an instance of that class: sage: t = Tachyon() Then you can explicitly control the camera, l

Thanx for all the tips! OK, I tried Tachyon? and the help file works. I also tried rendering some ray tracings as suggested in Tachyon? by constructing t=Tachyon() objects and all works very nicely! Some questions about Tachyon: (1) Is this the same tachyon by John Stone? If so, how is this a
